Healing our Heroes One Paw at a Time
Welcome to our team Page!
We are excited to be hosting our very first veteran outreach event in support of K9s For Warriors. Our event will take place Saturday 11/13/21 from 9am-2pm at the Elizabethtown Fitness Club in Elizabethtown, PA. We will have an open invitation to the general public to come workout that day with us in support of the cause. General donations will be taken at the door. We will have some exciting contests that day with prizes along with raffle baskets and food vendors. For every $5 dollars you donate, your name will be put in a raffle at a chance to win some cool prizes. We will also be selling t-shirts for this event, half of the shirt sales along with the door entry and other leisure donations will be given in support of K9s For Warriors!
We chose K9s For Warriors because we have a very special place in our hearts for both dogs and our veterans. We want to help rescue dogs from the shelter, giving them a new purpose in life. While at the same time, supporting our veterans within the program to restore their emotional and physical independence. By uniting a service dog with a veteran we can help to create a bond to facilitate healing and restoration that creates a new pathway to a positive and happy life. We get the chance to save two lives at once and what greater feeling than that.
Determined to end veteran suicide, K9s For Warriors provides highly-trained Service Dogs to military veterans suffering from PTSD, traumatic brain injury and/or military sexual trauma. With the majority of dogs coming from high-kill rescue shelters, this innovative program allows the K9/Warrior team to build an unwavering bond that facilitates their collective healing and recovery.
